Encounters and problems

Previous Chapter

Aria was wandering through that forest again, He had been there before and the memory had been so vivid that he had replicatled it through his dreams. Panting hard, the siren ran through him. Under the light of a bright full moon, ran freely through the forest. Passing over some fallen logs, continued forward, its large body hitting some trees while its single front hooves hit the wild grass and the dark fragnant earth. Ahead was a stream that sparkled under the moonlight. Without thinking, flew straight through it, without paying attention their hooves had a little moisture.

That whole path took her to the edge of a cliff. Her great height allowed her to see the expanse of land and trees that were in front of her. So, a deep noise exploded in the air. A roar. Attracted and kept aria's attention. She stayed still until the sound ended. Without moving and with his ears erect, started waiting for the sound again. There was something in that noise that called her. He looked around, scanning the treetops with his eyes, and then the deep, resonant roar sounded again.

He couldn't help but raise his head and respond to the sound with a roar of his own. Their voices filled the air and merged almost perfectly.

Aria opened her eyes suddenly and quickly she woke up, she was no longer in that dream that had returned her to equestria, however, just like the recent dream, the moon was full and bright, without clouds to obscure it.

¿She... she was still living? ¿she wasn't dead...still?.

His mind was full of questions, wolves are supposed to live too far from any city. Of course I had read about them and in the news I had heard reports of sightings, but she never thought would be attacked by one.

He started to think about what happened while she was unconscious, feeling a sudden pang of pain. That memory had been blurry before, but now aria could remenber clearly what had happened to her. Had seen that beast up close. A wolf, a little small but he was aggressive. She remembered that he had stood over her being determined to attck and mutilate his body, Before I managed to give him more scars. The noise of a plane was heard in mid-flight, she couldn't see it from her position on the wall but the noise was close enough that she could hear clearly despite wanting to faint. That was enough for the beast to ignore its prey and flee into the bushes and trees of the park for fear.

That had left aria alone. All he could feel was the pain in almost his entire body. It ketp getting weaker and could feel it fading, she was sure that would be her cruel end. She had always thought she was ready for the end of her life, but now that I was so close... just like when she went through the portal that brought her here and when she was hit with that damn colored ray, aria was terrified. Those were his last thoughts before closing his eyes...

After a while to wake up he decided to leave that park permanently, even the slightest movement was enough for the pain to continue, every inch of his clothes had grass and dirt, when he checked his injured wrist, there were marks that, although they were not that deep, were enough for there to be small drops of blood. While his knee had three small claw marks but deep enough to tear the magenta and white striped pants and spurt out a small, barely visible amount of blood, would have kept checking that those were his only scars but his mind had reminded him of everything that happened to him a few hours ago. A rebellious tear came out of one of his eyes and after that he was sobbing as he stood up, had to admit it, she looked so pathetic standing like that. Surely if her father was with her he would make fun of how miserable she currently was and make bad jokes about how she was so weak to be humiliated like that.

When he left the park jumping over one of the walls, aria continued walking aimlessly, inadvertently arrive at a bus station, was so tired from walking so looked for a place to rest, he leaned againts a tree that was nearby and began to think.

¿What should I do?
¿Where will I sleep?
¿What will I eat?

Thinking about his possibilities, he saw that the only thing he could do was survive and try to prosper, well it doesn't matter after all, she was a mermaid powerful creatures raised from childhood to be warriors, not so that they were a bunch of cowards, that was why one of the many phrases they said was "the brave die on the battlefield thile the cowards die in the trenches".

With that said, aria walked away from the bus station determined to create a new life.

1 week later.

Things hadn't been easy, since the day he started wandering the streets, had to manage to survive.

At the firts she had the illusion that the only thing he needed to live was his ingenuity, she through she could prosper alone, she saw this situation as a great opportunity to live on his own without following anyone's orders, achieve being free and happy.

But she couldn't be more wrong, after all she was trapped in the body of a young but at least beautiful woman, the short time he had been on the city streets was enough to realize that things seemed to be getting difficult.

It definitely started badly, didn't have any money, didn't have clean clothes, much less a place to spend cold nights, and she didn't know anyone to help her.

What at firts seemed like an opportunity for her to have a new independent life away from her only family seemed to become a very critical situation where her chances of survival were wuite slim.

The firts few days he had tried to be optimistic through that his problems would be solved, she remembered quite well when the fourth day was spent walking almost all over the city to try to find a job somewhere, mainly in small stores and gas stations but they always denied, it he still felt angry when he remembered that conversation he had with the owner of a small store.

Aria entered the fifth store she had found where a sign outside said they were looking for a cashier.

"¿anyone here?"

"What can I offer you girl"

Aria noticed the man with a somewhat elderly appearence.

"I wanted to know if the cashier position is still available"

"It is but I see that you are someone young"

"Please if you hire me I promise I will try my best" would say while trying to sound pleading.

"It's okay but I'll have to talk to your parents firts"

"¿My parents?" Hearing that definitely worried him.

"Girl, don't you have parents?, you don't know that they can sanction my business if I hire a minor without the consent of their parents, ¡the authorities can even fine me! look, your better get out and don't waste my time I don't want to have problems with anyone".

"But I need a job, it's been days since I ate anything"

"That's not my problem now get out before I kick you out" the owner didn't even think when he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her out and before closing the door one of his hands pushed her causing her to fall to her knees.

"Primitive and violent race" she whispered to herself as she stood up to continue looking for some other business or place where she would be hired.

Several days had passed since that moment and was still without a job and without a place to spend the nights.

She decided to take a risk and stop looking for a job and decided to sleep on the streets, she slept wherever the night would reach her he no longer cared about sleeping in alleys, in public parcks, usually slept in parking lots.

Time continued and his luck did not change, on one occasion he had no choice but to fight a group of stray dogs to see who would get a simple piece of pizza, a fight she lost and now her clothes were starting to look like some homeless guy's, dirty and with several broken parts and her heels seemed to come off her feet at any moment.

For her, every day that passed was a fight to try to survive, most of the time was spent looking for food in the garbage containers, usually in restaurants.

But no matter how much foof he got, he couldn't feel his stomach full since hiss race from its beginnings fed on magic and although they can temporarily live without it, death always came.

But at least not everything was bad for her, for now hr had managed to stay alive and surprisingly he had managed to adapt to his new environment.

Three weeks later she no longer spent the nights anywhere since now she slept under a vehicular bridge, next to one of the pillars that supported him, while his bed was a pile of cardboard that he had found lying around.

Unfortunately, there were nights where she couldn't sleep, not only because was uncomfortable, but also because of anxiety, know if made the right decision.

There were nights where didn't sleep and spent the entire night looking at the moon and stars, thinking about everything she left behind and knowing how much her old home had changed since she was sent like trash to an unknown place, he wondered what was happening to his specie, knowing that the last time he was with them things were not so easy.

Every night she meditated on her past mistakes, not only the crimes she committed in equestria, but also the ones she committed in this world.

One of the things she learned was that not everyone would shake her hand if she was in trouble, there would always be people who wouldn't lift a finger to help a poor wretch like her even if she begged.

And during this time she understood that living on own was not so easy.

"I am hate of this, drinking dirty water, endure hunger, of freezing from the cold at night and be dying of heat during the day, ¡i'm hate of living like this!" Screaming as he started to sob.

"¡Would like to return home!, if had to kneel before those princesses and beg them not to banish me, ¡I wouldn't care!" He would say out loud as his sobs increased.

"¿But hiw do I return if I have lost the little magic that I had kept? ¿What should I do?"

To try to calm down he decided to have a night walk, on many occasions she had to defend tooth and nail the little she had, he once had to fight a dog for a dirty chicken leg, another day he fought a homeless man for a dollar, on other occasions she had been threatened by other homeless people. At firts she was a little afraid but the many times he had taught sonata how to defend herself againts any aggressor had turned her into a competent fighter, not an expert but competent.

Currently, aria was walking through the dark and desolate streets, she wanted to feed herself and then return to her shelter and sleep.

In the distance noticed a small alley that passed through several buildings, when he got closer he noticed a trash container that was in the back of some restaurant, he opened the container and started looking for anything he could eat.

Until the problems started...

"But what do we have here, a sweet girl"

When she looked back she noticed three men looking at her.

"I don't look for problems" he decided to say quickly.

"Haha don't worry little woman you won't have problems if you don't want to but what are you doing, someone young and beatiful like you, in a place like this? It must be something important for you to be here with some dangers loose around there".

"I don't think they're interested but I'm just looking for food, nothing more".

"So you're just looking for food, ¿because I think you are not telling me the truth and we don't like being lied to".

"I have told you the truth" she said while trying to stay calm.

"Wow this kitten has nails, we me and my friends are leaving but before that we want a small souvenir".

When she understood what the subject was referring to, quickly responded.

"I have no money"

"I must admit that you seem to be a smirt girl but I still don't believe you're just looking for food, so what do you think about coming with us? We could give you money or even something more" he would say as he began to look at his body.

Aria knew what has happening and was sure she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible and things got worse when the three guys started surrounding her, without having the opportunity to escape, he decided to defend himself in his own way.

When the supposed boss he dared to kick him, she grabbed his leg and then hit him on the back of his knee, making him scream slightly.

When the second subject tried to attack her from behind, she quickly grabbed him and hit him right in the mouth, managing not only to send him to the ground as he also noticed how four of his teeth were thrown out.

When the boss tried to grab her from the waist, she punched him in the chest, making him retreat, unfortunately, he didn't notice when the second guy got up and hit him right on the top of his left shoulder, knew he had hit her with something sharp.

It was them he saw that he had taken out a knife, she was so surprised that she didn't notice the third guy standing right behind her, holding her by the back of her neck and slightly lifting her body that could barely touch the ground, when he was close to his face, he did not hesitate to punch him, to try to get him to let go.

But she received a blow on the right side of her waist, when let her go, noticed the second subject kick her, managing to push her towards her partner.

Later the same guy tried to hit her a blow that he managed to stop, unfortunately he did not remenber that he had a knife, tool I used to leave a slight scar on his chest.

When she was going to return the blow, she managed to feel that someone grabbed her by her pigtails, pushing her back untill she falls to the ground.

When he was about to get up, the guy who seemed to be leading the other two kicked him in the face, falling on his back on the ground she tried to get up again but another kick hit her in the chest, then one of them grabbed her left shoulder and hit her in the stomach and then pushed her towards the container.

After that she fell while her back hit the container, coughing a couple of times he noticed that blood was coming out of his mouth, her eyes barely managed to look at the three men approaching her.

"You should have accepted our offer but you refused so now you must suffer the consequences for it" the leader would say while his partner hands him the knife.

"You would not dare"

"Are you sure" he responded as he approached and placed the knife neat aria's neck.

But before they could do anything else a pair of red and blue lights accompanied by the light of a flashlight left them almost blind.

"¡You four stay still!"

Aria was the first to open her eyes and look in that direction, noticing a pair of police officers next to a patrol car, one of the agents carrying a flashlight while the other carried ad taser gun, he could also see how another patrol car stopped behind the agents of that patrol, 3 agents got out.

"Let's do this right want?, his days of stealing car parts are over and why do they have one more menber?, ¡it doesn't matter! They will tell us when we take them to the police station.

Aria managed to feel how her neck was crushed with force.

"You may be safe for but I don't forget, when we manage to escape, we will look for you throughout the city if necessary" when he finished speaking he looked at his colleagues "let's go".

She only saw them running down another path of the alley and she knew she had do to something, she couldn't die there or be captured and used for some humans experiment, gathering all her strength she got up and started running through the nearest exit of the alley

"¡they are fleeing! You three go fir the trio, you and I" he would say while pointing at his taser gun partner "let's go for the girl".

Aria didn't know where to run until she saw a mountain with plenty of trees and bushes, a perfect place to hide, without thinking he headed there.

When she arrived and started running through that forest, she knew that she couldn't get out of there until they stopped looking for her, she could hear the footsteps of the police who were chasing her.

She was currently using the strategy of zigzagging through the trees, unfortunately she did not notice a small ravine and fell into a not so deep river. When she got shup, she did not care about the state of the clothes. She just wanted to get away.

It was then that while she was running aimlessly her ears caught a sound that scared her, impacts that end up in the trees.

¿¡they were shooting him!?.

Due to growing fear she ran even faster as if there was a monster right behind her.

Unfortunately, he did not notice another small ravine and fell into it again. The only difference was that now he did not fall into a river, now he had fallen on land.

Due to the unexpected blow, his legs suffered a lot of pain as if they were separated from his nody, due to pain and fear of being arrested she decided to beg for mercy.

"¡no! ¡please! ¡they don't see that I'm hurt!" After a while she notice something interesting because no heard footsteps, much less shooting.

She mentally insulted herself because her screams could have helped them find her, she began to calm down as remained on the ground, he opened his eyes and looked at the stars and the almost full moon but she also heard the sound of a plane flying and she saw it, she followed him with her eyes until he notice that he was landint at nearby airport.

That caught his attention because during his escape he did not noticed what part of the city he had arrived in.

Event with pain to use his legs, he decided to crawl as if they had been torn off, it was then that she noticed that she was on a dirt road so she hurried to get to the other end quickly to make sure she didn't get run over, when he got a little off the path he used a large rock to hold on and get up when hee was finally standing he couldn't help but be surprised by the view he had of the city, the night weater and lookimg at the city from a far angle was something beautiful.

He also noticed that the dirt road was not that far away because he managed to see a road that surely led to the outskirts of the city.

As was going down noticed a metal sign indicating that the dirt road was used by people with bicycles knowing this, she decided to go down faster since she did not want anyone to see her in that state.

3 hours later.

Aria was lost, she was in a place in the city where she swore she had never been before, had used alleys and streets without much activity to walk and try to get somewhere would recognize.

But it failed ...

She was currently lying in an alley that she found, that alley was just acroos one of the many streets around the canterlot mall, lying on a cardboard pile if he was going to die, at least he preferred to spend his last breahts in a comfortable place.

Her current injuries didn't help either, the cut she received on her shoulder managed to make her bleed a lot and she could barely resist the pain caused by the small cut on her chest, right now he was looking at the sky realizing that it was already dawn.

When the sunlight began to bother her, she decided to close her eyes and wait for its live end while her head continued tilted upward.

After a few minutes thinking about why his deaht was so slow, notice the presence of someone near her.

Believing it was a hallucination, she decided to open her eyes and regretted it. She didn't know which was worse, deaht or the girl in front of her.

In front of her was that girl from the rainbooms, that purple girl who had grown wings during her battle, didn't even know her name but that hairstyle and color were recognizable But now it was different, his hairstyle it had changed and now he had ¿glasses? She was sure it was just a disguise he was using to blend in with people, bit she didn't speak, was just looking at her still, aria she knew that if she was there it was for a reason.

"Leave me or kill me, but don't make me waste my precious monutes with chatter" those were the last words managed to say while fell unconscious.

A movement that surprised her and made her body tremble, it was the feeling of a pair of fingers touching the side of his neck and in less than 3 minutes they stopped playing it Before falling completely into the darkness, she felt that some hands surrounded her waist quite tightly and seemed to drag her unknown place.
